Well I have been reading this thread but I am not sure what you mean by
"throbbing". Does it blink in a pattern or a random fashion?

I have a T41 and the WiFi indicator blinks mainly when data is being
transferred over the link. I assume all of the blinking is when there is data
on the link some of which is normal TCP or NETBIOS traffic.
Occasionally I have problems with the wireless link but attribute that to a
weak signal or radio interference (there are a lot of wireless devices using
the same frequency as WiFi). Normally I do not have to reboot as the
connection usually comes back alive after a short interval.
